Chapter 78 The Gaze of the Giant

The battle did not last long.

They were so impatient that the Horn mutants swarmed out, and the damaged aircraft ship lost the safe and balanced indoor environment. These two factors urged the two to eliminate these extremely aggressive creatures as soon as possible, enter the escape capsule, and escape into space.

This is their only way to survive.

Fortunately, these Horn mutants are not so smart and know how to stall for time with humans who cannot survive in space for too long.

Unfortunately, because too many people came in at once, the two of them were overwhelmed and injured one after another until they knocked down the last Horn mutant. Shirahoshi's abdomen had been penetrated by a bloody hole from the Horn mutant's tongue, and he was even more injured. She was caught in many deep and shallow ravines, and Xu Min was already half-kneeling in a pool of blood with the corpse, her head hung down, and one of her arms was missing.

No blood could flow from their bodies, their bodies were weak and without focus, and the temperature around them was extremely cold.

What's more urgent than this is that their driving suits have been damaged, and most of the fresh air that the oxygen masks can provide is being lost. Bai Xing is okay, but Xu Min must have been deprived of oxygen and fell into a state of confusion. He can only Let Bai Xing drag her desperately and enter the escape cabin.

Here, Shirahoshi is faced with a choice again.

Should she and Xu Min separate here and enter a capsule each, or enter an escape capsule together.

If they were separated, where would Xu Min drift to, and where would she drift to?

In Xu Min's current state, what would be the consequences of staying alone in an escape capsule.

Time and Xu Min's hypoxic state did not allow Bai Xing to continue thinking.

"Let's take a gamble!" Bai Xing gritted his teeth, held Xu Min on his chest, and stood in the generation area of ​​one of the escape capsules.

She pressed the release button above her head.

Not long after, a stream of cold gas spurted out from the soles of the two people's feet, followed by a transparent film. The film expanded rapidly from the soles of the feet, passing through the human body but still remaining intact. After wrapping the two people in it, the soles of the feet The circular standing point and the cabin disintegrated, slid smoothly, and fell into the universe.

This was Shirahoshi's first time riding in this transparent capsule.

The weightless feeling of floating in the universe in all directions was very strange. This made Xu Min, who was still a little heavy, become light and airy in her arms. The abundant oxygen in the capsule also allowed her to gradually regain her strength. She touched the capsule The film wall, watching from a distance, the outline of the machine gradually receded under the spotlight of her optical brain, continued to retreat as the capsule advanced, and finally disappeared into the boundless darkness.

Bai Xing turned off the light of the optical brain to prevent any other fish from noticing them.

In this situation, they wouldn't be able to handle even half a Horn mutant.

Fortunately, it was quiet all around, and there was no movement at all.

Bai Xing held Xu Min in her arms, groped the bottom of her nose with her hands, and felt her breathing gradually stabilize. Then she leaned down with confidence and touched the handle of a storage box at the original standing point. It opened.

She remembered that there were food supplements, drinking water, blankets and cold fluorescent stones.

Bai Xing didn't dare to turn on the light, so she just took out the contents with her hands, groped for a strip-shaped bag similar to food supplement liquid, then bit it open with her mouth, took a few bites, and made sure it was what she was thinking of. Xu Min came over, pinched her cheeks, and slowly fed her the supplement solution.

There is no first aid medicine, but some supplementary fluids can help her regain some strength and nutrition.Bai Xing didn't know why she had to bring such a burden. Maybe she couldn't bear to leave such an excellent pilot alone...

She randomly fed two tubes of supplement liquid to Xu Min, and drank two tubes herself. The remaining supplies might not last the two of them through a week.

Including oxygen, it must be halved.

The escape capsule does not move very fast. The instructions say that the guidance device at the bottom of the capsule is very advanced. It can not only emit signals intermittently to attract the attention of nearby navigation machines, but at a certain distance, it can also be affected by the magnetic field of the land tower at the same time. attract.

Although this statement is somewhat exaggerated product promotion, at the moment, it is Baixing's only hope and confidence to rush to a safe place.

Bai Xing turned on the optical brain, but could not find a signal.

She sighed. Fortunately, she could touch Xu Min as soon as she stretched out her hand, and Xu Min's breathing was also in her ears, providing her with the only psychological relief.

Otherwise, in this environment where there is no light around and no point of focus for the body, it is easy to fall into paranoid and huge mental problems.

It's cold.

Bai Xing took out a blanket, wrapped Xu Min and himself together, and closed his eyes.

In the quiet and dark universe, a transparent escape capsule wraps a young human floating in it, floating like this, floating...

Maybe it was because he was too quiet, or maybe the hard battle just now overspent Bai Xing's strength.

She actually fell asleep lightly again.

I don’t know how much time passed, and I don’t know where it drifted until the capsule gradually entered a dark mist.

If Bai Xing was awake, he would be alert. For pilots, the appearance of a natural fog layer in the universe is a very dangerous and rare phenomenon.

Quietly, a hill-shaped outline appeared vaguely from the mist layer in the distance with a wave-like trajectory.

Every time you get closer, the fog becomes thicker.

In the layer of mist, a large and scary head appeared and disappeared. It had a pus-like sac-shaped head, which looked like a mollusk, but there were many shield-like flat hard-shelled beetles living on the surface of the body. They densely covered the host's head. Wrapped, only the host's single hexagonal green pupil eye was exposed. That eye was attracted by the escape capsule floating in the universe. When approaching, the size of the capsule capsule was not even as big as its pupil.

With one eye fixed on the capsule cabin, it slowly rotated, and its lower half of the body finally emerged from the darkness as it swam.

It has a thick dark brown strip-like body with countless soft crawling tentacles protruding from both sides. The ends of the tentacles are relatively thin and are raised like hooks. They surround the middle back. On the back, they are either naturally carried or It was later implanted with a giant metal wheel-shaped shell that was obviously a product of technology, which made its image closer to the snail in Shirahoshi's impression, but in terms of visual impact, it was grotesque and much larger than the snail.

The one-eyed creature circled twice around the capsule cabin. The two injured people in the capsule were not awakened, but even if they woke up, they would not have the slightest ability to deal with such a giant object. Even if the one-eyed creature opened its eyes He opened the bloody mouth and wrapped the capsule tightly inside. Bai Xing and Xu Min were not affected by any outside influence at all.
